Pilgrim badge

A pilgrim badge is a special symbol that people wear as a sign that they have made a special journey. It shows that the person has gone on a pilgrimage, which is a journey taken as part of a religious or spiritual experience. A pilgrim badge can be worn around the neck, pinned to clothing, or carried in a pocket or bag. The badge can be made out of a variety of materials, like metal, plastic, or cloth, but they all have the same purpose—to remind the pilgrim of the steps they have taken to get to where they are and of the spiritual growth they gained along the way.
